The best part about using Ubuntu is that it is free to download and is very flexible. It comes with pre-installed tools which make it easy to use. It supports latest graphics, which are appreciable. The app has a secure database as they have built it on Linux architecture. The user base of Ubuntu is very large and has excellent community support. Even with a low hardware set, it works perfectly and conveniently.

Some software is unavailable in the repository system, and sometimes it is difficult to install the software. Sometimes, the app crashes so the built could have been stronger.

Ubuntu is a fast, reliable, smooth, and lightweight operating system. It is very safe to work with and is customizable. The app is free to use and is of significant benefit since the software cost of my company is limited. It does not need any antivirus software since it is very secure.

Powerful yet simple and quick opennsource OS

  • August 17, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I would say community support is one of the best things about ubuntu with impressive documentation for any kind of search and operational functionality needed to learn. Another best thing is its user chooses to go with GUI or CLI with much simplicity and what could be more than excellent security features free of cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
No default GUI support for the server. would be a bit difficult for someone who is more adapted to the Windows environment as most of the packages needed to be installed would take some effort and time as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, Security is the 1st thing that can be solved in a server environment. I use it for hosting and managing my web-based applications in different locations and haven't come across any security issues plus it's smooth for handling log files efficiently whenever needed.

Ubuntu is an excellent unix based operating system, fun to work with.

  • August 12, 2021

What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is very easy to download. The most recent version is available as an open source version online. With a few clicks and a bunch of straightforward steps to follow, the installation is quite easy. Post-installation steps are quite easy to execute. Any package that needs to be installed could be easily taken care of using a 'pip install' command. The user of this server becomes the default administrator and is able to carry out any operations of admin interest with ease. Ubuntu recent version is ver. 20.04 which supports most of the application downloads with ease. It's one of the most easy operating systems to work with if you are a Unix savvy.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, not all the required packages are installed by default. You will need to perform your due diligence in locating the missing packages. At times, the nature of errors encountered could be a bit daunting. Not everytime, you will be able to find information about these errors online. There could be times when it might take a few days figuring out the solution. The packages of your interest may be distributed across several different sub packages and it's vital that you figure out the exact names of these sub packages for successfully installing the packages on a holistic front.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has all the packages needed for ETL including some of the core languages like Python, Databases and SQL based operations. The ability of Ubuntu to interface with several applications is one of the salient features. Using Ubuntu, a successful configuration of Apache Airflow was carried out. All the config files, dependent files, folders including the image files for containers were successfully installed and implemented in Ubuntu. Docker and kubernetes cluster set up could also be successfully implemented in Ubuntu. Ubuntu necessarily supported all the mandated packages and tools needed to carry out the end to end ETL operations in my organization and was one of the relaible servers to depend upon.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ubuntu server could be considered as your premium choice if you are good in unix and looking to create a platform to carry out operations on a fact paced note. Owing to its open source feature, the server is easy to locate and install. The operations to be carried out could at times be a bit tricky for first time users but they will get a hang of it in a few days. Definitely worth a try!!!
